To go along with my last post, I decided to write an odd champion article on an ADC top, and seeing how Caitlyn has probably had the most success in top lane, I chose her.
Caitlyn's combination of poke capability, slows, snares and decent burst make her a perfect candidate for ADC top. Her poke allows her to control and maintain her lane, while her slow and snare prevents or slows ganks from ither lanes. Her long range allows her to farm at a safe distance and punish any overly aggressive opponents.
Caitlyn's passive serves to add a little extra burst every few shots, the shots required to get the bonus damage is lowered when she auto attacks from the bushes, this makes it quite beneficial for Cait to dodge in and out of bushes to utilize her passive fully.
Her first ability gives Caitlyn some nice damage and aoe, this is mostly used to clear minion waves, do a little burst damage, or snipe when her ultimate is down.
Caitlyn's second skill is a very useful snare that can be utilized countless ways. Most top players will choose to place their traps defensively due to the potential ganks that could come from other lanes. The trap can act like a cheap ward when placed in the right area such as river bush, where people will unknowingly step on it and alert you to the threat.
The third skill is a slow and self pushback. Caitlyn shoots out a net that slows the champion it hits, and pushes Caitlyn back the opposite way. This is very useful for disengaging and putting some distance in between your opponents and you.
Caitlyn's ultimate is a nice damaging ability with a great range. Its great for picking up kills and getting assists from kills that are to far away to help on.
Items on Caitlyn really depend on who she is going up against, what they are building, and if you are being hard pressed and need survivability. Most items will be the same as regular Cait, however you might find yourself building a Frozen Mallet or The Black Cleaver.
